March 8 is International Women’s Day, but this year, it will also be an international day of action in more than thirty countries. Organizers of the massive Women’s March on Washington on January 21 are among the supporters of a call by prominent scholars and activists for a women’s strike that will organize resistance “not just against Trump and his misogynist policies, but also against the conditions that produced Trump, namely the decades-long economic inequality, racial and sexual violence, and imperial wars abroad.”

Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, the author of From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation and a member of the National Planning Committee for the International Women’s Strike USA, talked recently about what March 8 could bring to the new resistance.
